A page-turning historical mystery full of twists and turns from the author of The Wicked Cometh.
The year is 1831. Down the murky alleyways of London, acts of unspeakable wickedness are taking place and no one is willing to speak out on behalf of the city's vulnerable poor as they disappear from the streets. Out of these shadows comes Hester White, a bright young woman who is desperate to escape the slums by any means possible. When Hester is thrust into the world of the aristocratic Brock family, she leaps at the chance to improve her station in life under the tutelage of the fiercely intelligent and mysterious Rebekah Brock. But whispers from her past slowly begin to poison her new life and both she and Rebekah are lured into the most sinister of investigations. Hester and Rebekah find themselves crossing every boundary they've ever known in pursuit of truth, redemption and passion. But their trust in each other will be tested as a web of deceit begins to unspool, dragging them into the blackest heart of a city where something more depraved than either of them could ever imagine is lurking . . .
Published to coincide with a major retrospective of Barbara Hepworth's work, Meet Barbara Hepworth introduces young readers to the sculptures of one of Britain's most significant modern artists.
The book offers a vivid exploration of London's history, illustrated by Laura Carlin's stunning artwork. It spans from prehistoric times, featuring dinosaurs, to the contemporary era marked by the 2022 death of a monarch. The narrative captures significant events and eras, including the Ice Age, the Roman invasion, and major calamities like the Plague and the Great Fire. Curated excerpts from historical figures' writings enrich the storytelling, making it a captivating tribute for art enthusiasts and history lovers alike.
